Location services always on! Hi my name is Ahmed, Over the past few months, when I was on iOS 16.6 and using my phone, I don’t know what happened, but my location services are always on, specifically system services. Users reported that this issue started after updating to iOS 16.2, but on my device, it happened later. Here’s what’s occurring: the location services consistently turn on (as indicated by the arrow at the top). When I unlock my phone, the arrow appears. After closing an app, the arrow reappears. Opening an app triggers the arrow again, and even turning on or off Wi-Fi or Bluetooth prompts the arrow once more. It continues to reappear every 30 seconds, regardless of my activity. The problem extends to “system services” using location, even after I turn off unnecessary services. The services like Find My and wireless and network, among two others, always activate when I perform the aforementioned activities. Even after disabling all of them, location services persist, as evident in the Control Center indicating that system services are still using location. This issue began a few months ago when I was using mobile data, and my phone’s battery was draining rapidly, even with the screen off. Turning off location services at that time resolved the battery drain. However, despite my efforts over the past month, including disabling Find My and I did reset location and privacy and network settings but it didn’t fixed. Unfortunately, the reset of network settings led to the loss of my Wi-Fi passwords, which is frustrating. I rely on weather updates and Google Maps frequently, so this bug is particularly troublesome.Please help me to fix that problem but I know you can’t but can you report it Apple and tell ‘em to fix that problem with future software update? Do this. This is important. Please, I hate that bug. I don’t know what to say. Just help!!! Everybody who knows about this issue can reply. And other people reporting bug after updating to iOS 16.2 on reddit (I also took screenshot from reddit because I don’t want to turn location services on now): https://www.reddit.com/r/ios/comments/zljp4c/system_services_is_always_accessing_location/?rdt=65315

Location services problem after iOS 17.3 Hello, I am experiencing a location services problems after updating my iPhone 15 pro, Apple Maps not working correctly, time zone keeps changing, weather app not giving my correct location, find my iPhone can’t detect my location, even third app parties like google maps doesn’t work properly. And the problem is not only on this iPhone, its all over my apple devices, MacBook, iPad, old iPhone. Tried contacting apple support through chat and calls, but they didn’t solve the issue, they keep telling me to the exact same things even though i mentioned that I tried it before with a different agent, it’s just so frustrating even the apple support can’t help you. So please any recommendations??
